Glass blower, Tasuku, has never been in love… until he encounters Monami, a woman with no memory. En route to Yamagata Prefecture in northern Japan in hopes of seeing winter blooming cherry blossoms, called keio-zakura, Monami had met with an accident. She can’t recall why she has come, nor that she has a husband and child waiting for her in Tokyo. Nevertheless, love blooms between Tasuku and Monami. But is it destined to be as fleeting as the ephemeral winter blossoms?
